Frederic John Poynton

In 1931, he was elected president of the British Paediatric Association, and in 1934, the year he retired from hospital appointments, he was the Long Fox Lecturer at Bristol.

[3] He was awarded the Dawson Williams Memorial prize for founding the Heard Homes for convalescent rheumatic children in London.

[1] He co-authored Recent Advances in the Study of Rheumatism with Dr Bernard Schlesinger, which reached a second edition in 1937.

[4] One further appearance in 1891 against Kent saw him pick up a single run as the Somerset innings closed with Poynton unbeaten.

[9] He scored his final half-century in a county match against Hampshire with a second-innings 55, which helped set up a 183 run victory for Somerset.

[6] His final first-class match was, like his first,[11] against Surrey at The Oval starting on 1 June and, as with the first, Somerset suffered a heavy loss.
